When a winter storm pummeled the east coast of Canada with mountains of snow and freezing temperatures this week, most people stayed inside. But not Shane Spencer.
Instead, Spencer, a truck driver in Minto, New Brunswick, did what only a true east coaster would. He put on a speedo and a bikini top and faced the storm head on.
"As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the government hasn’t been doing her job. Your local weatherman Shane Spencer is live here on location," he says in the video. "She’s snowing’ but it ain’t that bad yet."
It's not his first weather report — he actually started posting them awhile ago after being inspired by Sydney, Nova Scotia's, own viral weatherman, Frankie MacDonald.
It's hard to say whether it's due to his outfit or that delightful Maritimer accent (probably both), but his latest video has gone viral, with more than 300,000 views on Facebook.
"I'm just out there to put a smile on somebody’s face," Spencer told BuzzFeed Canada.
And for him, that makes hanging around in -20 weather in a bikini totally worth it.
